Here are just a few pictures from our short trip to California this past week!

Ethan was so happy to be the only child for a while! (And his shirt says “Here Comes Trouble!”)

Ethan attempting to place his entire fist into his mouth (with an “Apple of my Eye” shirt on!)

Ethan enjoying the new sling that Mommy bought to carry him around in (sorry about the flash, but his smile was too cute to not include this picture!)

Ethan’s first trip to the beach, where it was cold and windy. He loved being in the sling, next to warm mommy!

Cute little birds at the cold, windy beach

Fat Baby… I put this cardigan on him this morning and I suddenly got mental images of him as Violet Beauregard in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

See, Everyone! He’s not really a blueberry!!!

A walk in a quiet, peaceful park

A view of the garden atrium in the hotel, where we were able to see Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie during our visit! (Sorry, we didn’t take pictures of the movie stars… I’m sure they get more of enough of that already as it is!!!)

Some of the koi in the pond that wound around the atrium. Some of these fish were MASSIVE, and there were also a bunch of cute little turtles and even a DUCK living in the atrium of our hotel. It was pretty neat!!!

And Ethan in the plane on the way home. Somehow, despite the fact that our flight was full, we managed to have an open seat in between the seats that Andrew and I had been assigned, so we had a little extra room for Ethan to sleep on the way home :o).
